A lathed ring becomes a washer with a visible edge; a lathed dome becomes a hull plate. It offsets a copy of the surface, flips it, and fills the rim between them.
Offset decides which way the thickness grows: inward, outward, or evenly both ways.

Watch out
Thickness cannot exceed the curvature it is following. On a tightly curved shell, too much thickness folds the inner surface through itself, so a tight dome takes a thin wall.
